Captain With His Ship
02:56
|

|
Confusion strikes the lonely
Left to be thought the only
Disgraced by her saving grace
Left to go down like a captain
With his ship
A storm in its rage and glory
A wanderer told his story
You’ll die in a hundred thousand lies
Left to go down like a captain
With his ship
The riggin’s aflame out sea
There’s no one on board but me
I’ll drown in a hundred thousand lies
Left to go down like a captain
With his ship

Beautiful liar
And I am the one who sees
Sees all your pain
Sees all your joy
Sees all your fire
Beautiful liar
And I am the one who knows
Knows what’s inside
Knows what’s unsaid
Knows your desire
You walk a line
Stretched between your heart
And your mind
And it’s not fair
High on the wire
My beautiful liar
But you can trust in me
I’ll always care
Forever be there
I’ll never tire

My Frozen Heart

In one more night
The world will spin my way
And in one more night
I will hear you say
How you love me
And that you love me
And my frozen heart
In one more night
The stars will fall out of my head
And in one more night
You’ll forget the words you said
Of how you love me
And that you love me
And my frozen heart
One night stand
We’re just a one night stand
Doin' it all again
She will remain in my heart
In my life she still plays her part…

Blending In
04:24
|
|||
|
I’m still alive doin’ 85
In the softest part of the road
Got a bottle of wine from an old grapevine
But I’m not sure where to go
On the train all night with the flashin’ light
And the weight of a heavy load
The clackin’ of time and the leavin’ behind
I don’t know how it will go
And I am blending in
Shame on me
A dreary rain on the windowpane
Of this sleeper car as she goes
The shops are all closed and only heaven knows
Where America has gone
The click and the clack of this old railroad track
Is worn down to the bone
And the part I play in this sad decay
Sings out you reap what you sow
And I am blending in
Shame on me
Blending in for shame we know
Blending in but for the grace of God we go
The smoke and the haze of those glory days
When those steel mill whistles blew
The tobacco barns and the textile yarn
Were made where ol’ glory flew
The church bells rang and the mothers sang
And the dads were in the first pew
And hats came off and traffic stopped
When that old hearse came creepin’ through
And I am blending in
Shame on me

No Win Scenario
05:55
|

|
Nobody winds up with me
Nobody winds up next to my heart
Nobody winds up with me
That is the way it’s supposed to be
‘Cause I know - I know what I feel inside
When I hide my heart and
I try to ride the tide
Waiting for you
And it’s a no - a no win scenario
When you go this road to
The gold of what we know
Deep in our soul
Nobody gets close to me
Nobody gets close dances the dance
Nobody gets close to me
Nobody else will get that chance
And I know - I know it’s a crime to find
This time to pine
Away for you and me
Alone in a dream
Now I know - now I know there’s no way
To stay away
From a love that gives me hope
To wait one more day
Nobody comes inside
Nobody comes inside where you are
Nobody comes inside
That is the way it will always be
‘Cause I know - I know what I feel inside
When I hide my heart and
I try to ride the tide
Waiting for you
And it’s a no - a no win scenario
When you go this road to
The gold of what we know
Deep in our soul

Wait She Said
02:49
|

“Wait” She Said
“Wait” She said
And wait did I
“Stop” She said
And stop did I
“Leave me alone” She said
And leave her alone did I
“Come back” She’ll say
But I’ve already said goodbye
“Listen” She said
And listen did I
“Help me” She said
And help her did I
“Give me some time to myself” She said
And give her some time to herself did I
“Come back” She’ll say
But I’ve already said goodbye
So “Help me” Called I
And “Wait” Said she
And “Hold me” Said I
And “Stop” Said she

The Road We Didn't Go
04:14

I dreamed of you last night
You looked just like you should have
When we never had the time
So young and sure we would have
And in the dream and sin
As sweet and blind as ever
Your skin was cream again
Tequilla n lime forever
There’s this thing between us love
Like a wall of jasmine vine
It clings and smells so sweet of
Control not yours or mine
Like melting the old love songs
Sand fleeting between our toes
Neither you nor I can stay long
Down the dreams we didn’t go
The dream it fades away now
Down the road we didn’t go

Things Fade Away
05:05
|

All I have to do is say
And you’ll be here
Is that what you’re trying to say babe?
Well all I’ve done today is say
And you
You are so far away babe
The things you need in me can fade
Things fade away, fade away
And all I have to do is cry
And you
Will run to my side babe
Well all I’ve done today is try
But you
You are so far away babe
The things you need in me can fade
Things fade away, fade away
